It was a great experience to be here! Pedro was respectful and friendly in every moment and work was not difficult.

The house you stay at is big, you have your own room and the shared areas are very clean. Sunrise view in the mountains is amazing!
You are provided everything you need to cook (no meat) and have bikes at your disposal to explore the place.

Working hours are as described and always flexible in case you need to change or want to go explore the near towns. Plus you work at your own pace and get to learn about organic farming.

I would definitely recommend this volunteer to eve

I really liked working there. The farm is so big and there is another long term volunteer living there, who is a really nice guy and an amazing cook. You have a big house for yourself and a cozy fireplace in the kitchen. In the winter it's a bit cold there, so bring warm clothes, but outside it's still really nice. Also the host and his wife are such nice people, who motivate you and help you sometimes. I can recommend working there on this project.

I was supposed to stay for 3 weeks, but i was only there for 3 days.. If you don't mind living in cold and dirty house with old men, and doing hard work during the days, this might be for you. I think the vibes of the host was not the best, unfortunately. He was nice to me, but to some people he spoke kind of rudely. This experience made me really appreciate my life and living circumstances at home though.😊 Also this is good place to save money because they provide the food, and there is not anything around you could accidentally spend your money on.

It wa great to meet Pedro and to work on the farm with the other volunteers. We did a variety of tasks on the farm and enjoyed each others company in the farm house. The tasks were varied and were communicated to us via WhatsApp from Pedro. Pedro provided us with food supplies and we did a mix of meals together in the house. Unfortunately due to Pedro's other commitments he was not at the farm too often but there were always tasks to do and he did drop in and work with us sometimes.

I had a great time at the farm! Pedro and Nadia are very warmhearted hosts. I learned a lot about farming and there was a variety of different tasks that I was able to do. If you are looking for a peaceful, remote place in nature this is perfect. Also if you can be flexible and spontaneous when it comes to tasks and the times of work. For that it is good when you are able to self-organize, also because the hosts are not at the farm every day. For me the volunteer`s house was okay and I could make myself comfortable. But it is old and it can get really cold, just to keep that in mind.

The work was self-initiated and the owner was never around, as we had to invent the work ourselves. The house was comfortable, but the facilities, like the dishwashing sink, were old and broke down, which was never repaired and we had to invent ways to drain the water and wash the dishes. On the other hand, he made hostile comments about Latin America, insinuating that Europe is better; in fact, at one point he called me stupid for having beliefs different from his. Because of a misunderstanding he got angry and, instead of resolving it with the person with whom I had made the deal, he confronted me three times, which I found out of place.

It's true that I haven't been very present, but it was one of the first things I warned about and that I have on my profile.
I don't know Latin America except for the music I love, so I would never make any comment about something I don't know. On the other hand, I had three volunteers from Latin America and asked many questions about how it was there. I never insulted anyone.
Ursula is dishonest and a bad worker. I allowed her not to work for several days because she told me she was in pain.
